A few questions.

[ems]

Hi! I've just switched to Quite Lickable, and have managed to customise it a bit, but there's several things I'd really like to do but don't know how. I've searched through the community but none of my questions have been answered, so I thought I'd see if any of you nice people could give me a hand. I'm familiar with CSS and HTML, but unfamiliar

Hi there. Most of your changes just require a bit of CSS tweaking. You can add additional rules to the CSS stylesheet by overriding the custom_styles() function. First you need to create a theme layer which will hold your changes. In your theme layer, you can add the following function to add some extra stuff to your CSS:

function custom_styles() {
"""
body {
font-size: 200em; /* or whatever */
}
""";
}

You can put whatever CSS you like between those rows of quotes. Since you know CSS, I won't go through each of your points in turn as I assume you'll be able to work from here. If you do have any problems though, please let me know and I'll try to help.

Your items six and seven require different changes. The text for the currents is easy:

set text_meta_mood = "Feeling";
set text_meta_music = "Listening To";

There's also “Current Location”, but the changes to make that work in S2 layers haven't gone live yet. I suspect the property for that will be called text_meta_location, so once it has gone live you'll be able to change that too.

I haven't tried all this yet and will get back to you when I have done, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help. I really appreciate you taking the time to do so. :)

I managed to fix everything except move the userpic up to the top right hand of the entry - any suggestions

I guess you want to have the userpic flush with the top of the subject line? I don't really think this can be done with CSS alone. As you've probably seen, the userpic is positioned with a float and the image itself appears below the header. I suppose you could try putting a negative margin on the top of it, but getting the right value for that is likely impossible and it'd probably do odd things in different browsers… *shrug*

As for the little icons, these are supplied by the system and there isn't really an easy way to change them. The user info icons could be changed by overriding the userinfoicon function from core, but I'd advise against doing that since then when new icons are added in the future your copy will be stale. The same applies to security icons, really.
